Thank you for testing!

I think the issue you are observing, is because you are missing "skip_sw":
tc filter add dev ens5f0np0 ingress protocol ip flower skip_sw \
	ip_flags frag/firstfrag action drop

Without skip_sw, then the hardware offload is opportunistic,
and therefore the error in hardware offloading doesn't bubble
through to user space.

Without skip_sw, you should still be able to observe a change in
`tc filter show dev ens5f0np0 ingress`. Without the patch you
should see "in_hw", and with it you should see "not_in_hw".

With skip_sw, then the error in hardware offloading causes
the tc command to fail, with the -EOPNOTSUPP error and
associated extended Netlink error message.

Also see Ido's testing for mlxsw in this other thread:
